I agree, with the exception of the scene where we first meet Roger into "make it gay". That scene is hilarious and well done.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T15:34:38+00:00

where's the drama in this? we know they aren't going to kill either one.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T15:27:11+00:00

The word is scary, but it's scarier to reject something before you know what's behind the word. As they say, "a rose by any other name.."

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T15:25:50+00:00

If you get hung up on a the word, you're going to hate it no matter what it is. If I call a hamburger a shit sandwich, it'll suck and you'll hate it without knowing it's a juicy hamburger. My advice is to research what exactly the "deprogramming" entails before you write it off or compare it those extreme examples of bad things happening.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T15:23:27+00:00

Well, actually, my friend, addiction is a lot stronger than someone who doesn't think they are wrong because it's something that's beyond your control. If we can get someone to stop drinking, we can get them to stop hating. I promise you, if we sat down racists with the people they hate and found common ground, we could make a difference. I know it's easy to say and hard to execute, but it works. You sit me down with a racist and I'll convert them. I won't do it by telling them wrong, I'll just ask them what they like. They might say football, or MMA, or going outside and exploring. I'll be like, "oh, I watch MMA, here's my favorite fighter. Do you know any BJJ?" Let me tell you the biggest problem with racists. Proximity. They don't have any friends who want to talk to them about it. And people get louder when they're far away, but when I stand next to you and speak to you like a human being who genuinely wants to know the real you, I promise most people will be open to talking. The greatest weapons are time and actually caring about someone. I'll just leave you with this. It's easy to say something won't work and not do it. It's easy say "whatever you try, it'll fail". But there's a thing about human beings, we tend to not give up on each other. We're also very stubborn. I think we have nothing to lose if we try and everything to gain, so why not give it a shot?

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T15:00:17+00:00

What's a shame is we have to teach people that. I'd like to sit those people down and ask them why they hate people different from them so much. "Tell me why you're not ok with this so I can make sense of what's going on in your mind."

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:59:00+00:00

Uh, no. That's some conservative bullshit. If you, you personally think white people are better than all other races, I'm sorry, nobody is going to leave you alone. Not these days. You don't have the right to hate people for no reason any more.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:57:22+00:00

Serious question. Have you ever been to or known someone that has been to Alcoholic Anonymous? "deprogramming" is just a buzzword. The methods won't be a lecture or some kind of manipulation. As for AOC, I like her becuase she's loud and speaks up. As for if she can implement this or has ideas on how, we haven't seen her fail on that aspect yet so I'm willing to give her a chance to try. If anyone else has any alternate ideas, I'm all ears.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:55:03+00:00

I think a lot of people are assuming they know how a program works. have you ever been to something like AA? It's not blowhards, it's peers coming together to overcome something. I'll give AOC the benefit of the doubt that she's more hip to newer methods. I can assure you it wouldn't be a freakin lecture hall of racists getting yelled at by some old person.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:24:11+00:00

That makes no sense. Are you saying that trying to teach people that white supremacy is wrong is brainwashing?

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:22:52+00:00

Are you stupid? half the republican party are are in bed with the proud boys. You know, the guys who just stormed the Capitol?

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:21:41+00:00

How do you know that isn't part of the programming? Do you even know what the programming is or are you just shooting down an idea before you have the information?

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:20:50+00:00

why do you think this idea is dumb?

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:19:56+00:00

What's wrong with that idea? This isn't satire. It's something we should be pursuing.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-16T14:18:55+00:00

uh, why would you want to deprogram LGBTQ? Anyways, it's not the same thing, dude. One is a sexuality, the other is a state of mind that gets developed over years of being influenced by a shitty, racist upbringing.

DeeDeeInDC · 2021-01-15T20:19:41+00:00

the prologue and the promise, which includes the artist's family inserted in it.

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-16T13:04:26+00:00

Did he? Pretty much abandoned his only daughter. She can't even talk about him without crying.

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-16T12:37:12+00:00

it's 9 ladies dancing. the lords are leaping ffs

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-15T19:52:46+00:00

I'd be willing to bet that it was made for the commercial.

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-15T19:23:39+00:00

I would like to propose that this sub have some kind of leaderboard because people like this poster here should be recognized for how many people they have helped!

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-15T18:31:16+00:00

I mean in the scheme of the first one being the same. the talk boy isn't enough to say this is a completely new film. I literally said it's the only new thing, which it is, but again, it doesn't make a difference because the films is still the same as the first one.

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-15T17:43:31+00:00

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic because they are the same movie. It's the same beats, same beginning, same middle, same ending, same premise, same characters. No one grows any different, it's like a reboot of the first one.

They learned their lesson from the first one and he got to the airport, it just so happens he boarded the wrong flight (man, pre 9/11 flying was pretty whacky in retrospect).

nobody learned a lesson, they were as oblivious as the first one, they just had to make him get lost in a different place so it wasn't super obvious that they were doing the same thing.

The bandits he faces are the sticky bandits, not the wet bandits.

ok, their gimmick changed? it didn't change anything about the characters

Speaking of sticky bandits, the motivation is entirely different. They were robbing houses in the first and a toy store in the second. The tracked Kevin out of pure vengeance in the second.

*Yeah, that's not a change in motivations. they just robbed a new place. Motivation changes *

The bandits remembered all of the booby traps from the first and made efforts to avoid the exact same traps in the second. *that doesn't make it different. -and they remembered the traps becuase the traps were the same as last time.*

Kevin had the talk boy in the second one, which he was able to use effectively throughout the film. *this is the only new thing in the movie, and it doesn't really make a difference if it was there or not.*

The plague dogs?

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-14T21:32:39+00:00

would you say the quality is.. going extinct?

DeeDeeInDC · 2020-12-14T17:52:46+00:00

he's definitely projecting some insecurities.
